Bergliebe
Bergliebe [b??rgli?b?] is a beautifully crafted knitting pattern designed to be worked seamlessly from the top down, making it perfect for knitters of all skill levels. This pattern starts with intricate neck shaping, where short rows are skillfully worked back and forth to create a higher back neck for a comfortable fit. Following the neck shaping, the yoke is knitted in the round until the sleeve separation. Increases are then incorporated into the textured portion of the yoke, leading into raglan increases for the lower part of the yoke, giving the garment a flattering silhouette. Sleeve stitches are placed on hold momentarily while the body is worked top down, allowing for a streamlined and efficient knitting experience. Once the body is completed, the sleeves are then worked in rounds down to the cuffs. One of the best features of the Bergliebe pattern is that no finishing is required, making it a joy to complete.
